    Be Like a Tree

    "I had learned early one important thing, and that was to always teach in terms that the people could understand." -- Malcolm X, The Autobiography of Malcolm X, p. 254 The young child looked at the elder and asked, "What must I do to be strong when I grow up?" The elder looked kindly at the child and replied, "You must be like a tree. In life there will be winds of change and even storms from time to time.

    Survival of the Earnest

    ​​"Now is no time to think of what you do not have. Think of what you can do with what there is." -- The Old Man and the Sea, Ernest Hemingway​, p. 110 The quote above comes in the part of the story when the old man, Santiago, has already killed a giant marlin, but he is trying desperately to defend his catch from all the mako sharks, who successfully attack and eat the carcass of the giant marlin. Santiago, regretful, wishes that he had a stone with him in order to sharpen
